In order to continue to provide training opportunities for Umina Nippers we need the assistance of nipper parents so please come ready to assist. If we do not have enough water safety and parent helpers, training sessions may be reduced or canceled.

Surf Sports Training

Surf Sports Training will allow nippers in U9’s to U14’s to practice their skills and train for all disciplines of competition at Surf Carnivals; Board, Iron Man, Swim, Sprints and Flags. Nippers wishing to attend Surf Sports Training will need to come prepared for both water and land training. Please bring swim goggles and running shoes as training activities will depend on water conditions on the day.

Any registered Nippers wishing to take part in Water Training must be proficient.

All Nippers wanting to take part in any training must have their name marked off before going into the water and when training finishes. When training all Nippers must wear the hi-visability vests. When participating in board training, the children will be required to wear a designated coloured cap (the cap will be provided when they have their name marked off).

At the end of training sessions at Umina SLSC the board must be carried back to club, rinsed with fresh water and returned immediately to the racks provided.

March Past Training
